Northbound on the Appalachian Trail from Shippensburg Road to Pine Grove Furnace. This is an easy to moderate difficulty hike (3 stars out of 5) that is mostly downhill. The Shippensburg Road parking lot is somewhat limited (about 12 cars) but the road shoulders are wide allowing more parking. There are no restroom facilities at this location.
